Premier to meet police minister

- GENEVIEVE SERRA and MARSHA DEAN

IN RESPONSE to mass shootings linked to gang violence and extortion, civil rights organisations and political parties are calling for a Provincial State of Disaster. This comes as Parliament signs off on Premier Alan Winde's R2.6 million annual package.

Just last week, as schools reopened, the Cape Crime Crisis Coalition (C4) renewed its call for a state of disaster after local government MEC Anton Bredell announced that he planned to ask the Cabinet to declare ongoing fires and water challenges a natural disaster.

The police's Serious and Violent Crime Unit was called to two crime scenes yesterday, where six lives were claimed and two others left wounded.

Police Commissioner Thembisile Patekile said despite 38000 firearms being confiscated in the past five years, shootings continued.

Police spokesperson Colonel Andre Traut explained that police were responding to a shooting at 2.50am in Melck Street, Ndabeni, yesterday. Traut said Maitland police were alerted by a passerby who reported a dog lying in a pool of blood.
